DDO pets (Summon monster spell)

A list of all the magic creatures you can call to your side. The cleric, favored soul, sorcerers, and wizard class all get access to the Summon Monster spell. It was improved in DDO Update 7 to include many new monsters.

The Broccoli Witch to the left is unfortunately not an ingame pet. She's very popular with players after a few "Broccoli or the Beholder?" ads for Dungeons and Dragons Online, like this video. More of them are listed on this lens.

Every creature made by the DDO summon monster spell has its own comment section. You can see what other players think about it, and share your own opinion. :)

9 - Eladrin, Elemental, Hezrou.

Which of the level 9 familiar spells do you prefer?

Hezrou

A beefy, strong, demon you can call to your side. This is the most popular summon monster in the game. He's huge. That might look cool at first, but it's also a liability. Have you ever tried to see what's happening when there's a few hezrous on the screen? It's impossible.

This monster can teleport straight to your enemies. Sounds awesome, right? Not always. I've witnessed a one second wipe in the "Bastion of Power" quest. The hezrou ported to a bunch of sleeping devils, died to them, then around 30 of them all teleported to us.

Special abilities: Teleporting.

Elder Fire Elemental

Perfect for any quest with a lot of frost creatures. This DDO monster summon will tear right through "The Enemy Within", "Prey on the Hunter", and "Ghosts of Perdition". She doesn't get the Aura of Flame special ability most Fire Elementals have.

Special abilities: Element Damage (fire), Element Resistance (cold).

Eladrin Ghaele

The most interesting new pet in DDO Update 7. She's a strong spellcaster with a long list of spells. One of her abilities can heal herself back up to full health. A fantastic distraction for any monsters you won't have to worry about keeping alive. This summon monster can be seen in the "Running with the Devils" Vale of Twilight quest.

8 - Cat, Elemental, Orthon.

Your choice?

Orthon

One of the few ranged summons available to people who aren't playing a Pale Master. He'll fire his crossbow at people before teleporting over to melee. Didn't seem very strong.

Special abilities: Cleaving Hits, Element Resistance, Teleporting.

Bezekira

The standard level 8 summon before update 7. It's not very special, but it does have a high chance of evading enemy attacks. Update 15 apparently reduced its chance of tripping your enemies quite a bit.

Special abilities: Incorporeal, Tripping.

Greater Air Elemental

This dungeons and dragons online pet is a lot of fun to watch. He currently flies around the battlefield, knocking down everything in it's path. Imagine there was a living grease spell, and it always worked? That's what the air elemental is. We can safely assume this is a bug!

7 - Djinni, Efreeti, Elemental.

Yet another poll, about DDO's level 7 summoned monsters.

Huge Earth Elemental

A very impressive looking summoned pet for your caster. He's larger and bulkier than most! Very durable critter. He can use his Earthgrab ability in a fight. This stuns the monster for a very short time. Any attack on an enemy with earthgrab is an automatic critical hit.

Special abilities: Damage Resistance, Stunning.

Djinni

You can fight them in the "Running with the Devils" quest. He's very similar, and can turn himself into a tornado. This knocks down all nearby enemies and turns him temporarily invincible.

Large Water Elemental

Very cool looking monster. Works well against their fiery sisters, and any other flame infested area. Unfortunately, these water elementals don't get the "Freezing Spray" that increases the damage of DDO's cold attacks. Polar Ray and other frost spells probably would've been too unbalancing if players were given that aura.

5 - Devil, Dog, Elemental.

Any preference between the three?

Medium Earth Elemental

Uses earthgrab every so-often. Stone fingers rise from the ground, trapping an enemy if they don't make a save. This rock prison lasts for several secnds. Anyone attacking an earthgrabbed foe will critical hit.

Special abilities: Stunning.

Umbral Worg:

This shadow dog is one of the more unique pets in DDO. He has the "shadow taint" ability many undead have. Anyone who dies after being attacked by an umbral worg will turn into a shadow themselves. Unfortunately, unless you're a Pale Master, this new creature tries to attack you. Probably a bug.

Special abilities: Incorporeal, Multiplying, Phasing, Stealthy.

Bearded Devil:

Exceptionally good for killing things! He'll teleport straight into a crowd and cleave them all immediately. I'd recommend this devil summon monster spell for any casters who need a quick distraction. He works best with a character who can use non-mesmerize crowd control.

4 - Archon, Mephit, Spider.

Which of these monsters is your favorite?

Lantern Archon

"Summon monsters" is the first appearance of the Lantern Archon as a creature in DDO. Some of the high level Eladrin can transform into one. There's also a talkative archon npc in DDO's Amrath area, the town of Shavarath's yugoloth.

I don't have any experience with it yet. Do you? Leave a comment below with what you think of this summoned creature.

Special abilities: Caster, Element Damage (light).

Greater Ice Mephit

You don't want to use this guy in a fire dungeon. He takes extra damage from that type of elemental attacks.

Fiendish Spider

This level's original monster summon in Dungeons and Dragons Online. She's very big, but doesn't have much durability. Tries to use ranged attacks often. They don't do much damage, but it could help be a distraction until the fiendish spider dies. Attempts to web sometimes.

3 - Dog, Hellhound, Mephit.

Summon Monster III has three choices. Unlike most creatures, they all go into sneak mode immediately when summoned and after battles. This means they won't make a good distraction, but they could catch some of your DDO enemies unaware.
